CRAWFORD CONVICTED.
A Judge WHO Claims to be Posted OF,
the Tender Passion.

Copyright 1857, by dc California associated Press
WASHINGTON, August 19th.-[Speeial. /
This afternoon Assistant District ATTORNEY
Lynscomb concluded his argument in the
Police Court in the case of Surgeon Craw-
ford, U. S. N, accused under the Utah law
of unlawful cohabitation with Eva White.
He maintained, with legal authorities, the
proposition that it was not necessary to-
prove the time in an offense OF this char
acter, and ridiculed at length Crawford
testimony on the stand, that in all the ten
derness of his relations with the girl he
had never kissed her.
Judge Harper, in disposing of the case,
said he had fully reviewed the testimony.
He referred to the construction of defend
ants version of his visit to Eva Whites
house after they returned from an excur-
sion. He said he did not believe that any
person occupying the position of lover, as
he claimed to occupy, would leave her at
the door without seeing that she got into
the house, or at least the house of neigh
Dor. He said he would hold The accused
guilty on both informations, and that his
punishment would be six months in Jail in
each case. There was applause in the
Courtroom when the sentence was an
nounced, but the Court officials promptly
checked it.

PHILADELPHIA, August Especial !
Harrison and Knight, sugar refiners, are
working night and day at their greatest
capacity. Superintendent Langenheim. of
the knight company, said that more sugar
will be used this year than ever before
Business will continue, it is expected, in
the same way up to the fall of 1888. The
demand at this time of the year is caused
'oy the canning season. The use of sugar
low now, and there is no outlook that it
will be advanced. Brazil and Louisiana
crops are yet to come. The increase in the
consumption of sugar in 1886 over 1885 was
5000 tons. So far this year the increase
over last year is 5000 tons. and if the
increased consumption continues it will
exceed even last years increase.
